This works initially, especially with other co3 and co6 inhibitors. However, after a couple weeks or so, looses efficacy.

Not at all hard to take

Dosage:
As needed

Advice & Tips:
I only use Tylenol when I need it BADLY! I depend more on my prescription medications than I do Tylenol because it can cause liver damage if taken to much to often. When I do take it, it does help with the swelling and the pain in my feet, hips, back. It doesn't take all the pain away, but it makes the pain tolerable.
